The Marduk Letters: Diabolically Eliminating Level 5 and Servant Leaders - Paperback

by Wilbur Reid (Author)

Our Father Below is pleased with the work of the demons in the Lowerarchy of hell to create division and contention among the people of Earth in the twenty-first century. However, he is angered by the growing interest in the ideas of humility and zeal that Christian leaders have discovered in the Enemy's two-thousand-year-old propaganda. These ideas have been formalized into two related, abhorrent concepts: servant leadership and level 5 leadership. Servant leadership describes individuals who begin with a natural desire to serve first, and then conscious choice causes them to aspire to lead. Level 5 leadership, from Good to Great by Jim Collins, combines the paradoxical blend of humility and zeal. Marduk, a thoroughly ruthless and cruel demon, mentors his naive and hapless nephew Slugtoad. Marduk assigns Slugtoad to a male and a female patient in America who have the potential to be strong Christian leaders. In his letters, Marduk advises Slugtoad to guide the patients away from effective leadership. The first section of the book is comprised of the Marduk letters, while the second section provides the scholarship and research of servant and level 5 leadership.
